qn30jEkPz7 Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 (edited) As per my recent WIP threads - my first foray into a RFI so please be gentle. The threads: http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/235019580-rn-phantom-buccaneer-finished/ http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/235016981-done-quadruple-booms-parallel-build-vampire-t11-and-a-sea-vixen/ I think everyone is probably sick to death of seeing Airfix Vampire T11s so I'll skip that The gang: Things I'm already aware of: - silvering on the decals of the Sea Vixen - need Sidewinders for the Phantom - Phantom nose wheel door hinged to the wrong side - realised after Buccaneer picture that a couple of stencils still need to go onto the canopy framing - Missiles all look a bit bare Edited April 22, 2017 by LostCosmonauts wonky formatting fixed 31 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorby Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 Very nice group. I have a soft-spot for the Sea Vixen, so that has to be my favourite. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orion Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 Hello Lost, Nice trio of famous Royal Navy aircraft. It requires lots of determination, to focus on one service. But the result is a balanced group of models. I enjoyed them. Regards, Orion / The Netherlands. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you! tbh it was mainly that I'd made the Vixen and was pleased with how it looked in the Navy colours that made me put the other two next and these schemes next in the build queue rather than any display of dedication Next up has a nautical flavour again but very very different e.g. http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/235019765-musings-on-an-airsea-rescue-scene/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not for me it doesn't. Nice to see Pusser's cabs in any form. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
upnorth Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 Nice group. I had no idea the Sea Vixen was that big until you parked it next to a Phantom. It certainly doesn't look so big in a lot of pictures I've seen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same here - I thought it'd be a bit bigger than the Vampire with the twin boom jet lineage but it wasn't till I pulled the boxes out and started building them I realised it was about twice the size.
